Howdy.
I’m a retired manufacturing engineer. I watched US industry slowly fade away thanks to the execs and politicians in both parties working together shipping industry offshore. In turn, through graft and corruption, they allowed foreign machine tool builders dump their machine tools in the USA killing off most American machine builders.
These are the same old slimy white politicians still in D.C. that successfully killed off American industry and jobs (PS - they are corrupt Democrats and Republicans both).
For those who question this theory, go to your favorite hardware store or farm and ranch store and locate American made tools.
